147. Decision
As soon as she said this, she sat down without fear, as if she had expected that I would not be insulted by this. A concubine under her? Isn't that holding her face and letting her step on it?
While we were chatting, there was a knock at the door, and it was the maid who said outside, "Miss, madam, Sister-in-law Gui has brought dinner." ”
The maid's sudden appearance interrupted my conversation with Wang Zhizhi, and she gave me time to think, so she said to the maid at the door, let Sister-in-law Gui come in.
Almost a second, Sister-in-law Gui pushed the door with the food box in her hand, she glanced at me and Wang Zhizhi, and quickly put down the food box in her hand, and was about to turn around and leave, Wang Zhizhi said this, naturally there was nothing else to say to me, so she naturally stood up and said to Sister-in-law Gui who was leaving: "I'll go back with you." ”
Sister-in-law Gui was stunned for a few seconds, and when she saw that Wang Zhizhi wanted to go with her, she immediately said yes.
The maid came in and carefully handed the handbag on the bedside table to Wang Zhizhi, Wang Zhizhi took it, glanced at me again and said, "What I told you today, you can think it through, don't blame me for not giving you this opportunity." ”
After speaking, a sneer curled at the corner of her mouth, and she stepped out of the door with her bag and stepped on black leather shoes from the ward.
When Sister-in-law Gui saw her leave, she hesitated for a few seconds, then looked back at me again, didn't dare to say a word, and immediately left.
In the evening, after I had finished dinner, I went to bed early, but I only slept for two hours and woke up, just in time to hear the maids talking about me outside, and one of the maids said: "Madame will be so generous to let Miss be a concubine for Mr., obviously she has long been in control of Miss's temperament, and the reason why she is like this is just to be virtuous in front of Mr., and the more she forces Miss like this, the more Miss will not be as she wants, I see, this matter is very hanging, and the child will not be able to stay nine times out of ten." ”
Another maid asked, "In other words, the young lady must have taken the child away?" ”
The maid was incredibly sure and said, "Isn't it?" It's not that we don't know Miss's character, she used to be very incomparable in the Mu family, even the hostess of Mrs. is like an outsider, and she is very flattering in front of her, but now, everything is changing rapidly, as soon as Zhou's mother leaves, Miss's status is becoming less and less than before, but even so, let her be a concubine? Unless the sky falls. ”
Someone sighed outside and said, "It seems that the child must be removed, and Miss has been really pitiful in recent years." ”
"What's the use of being pitiful? If I were a young lady, I would not have drilled into the trap of Mrs., she wanted Miss to marry in so much, then I would marry in, anyway, what is the great thing about this title, even if Miss remarries, there may not be such a good family as the Mu family, and besides, aren't they all small favored now? Mr. has never been an amorous man, Miss Xiangbi will enter the door, and there will be no other women entering the door, isn't Miss just a family? ”
Another maid said: "No matter how we look at it, we think that marrying into the Mu family is a good choice, but people may not think like this, what we think about is glory and wealth, and others want dignity and face, can this be the same as our thoughts?" ”
The maid sighed and said, "Also, people of our status, don't assume well, they are the ladies and wives of rich families, let them do whatever they want." ”
The two of them talked for a while, and there was silence outside the house for a while, and then the door was pushed open, and one of the maids came in, about to make sure that I was asleep, and saw that I was lying on the bed silently, and must have been asleep for a long time, so they did not keep vigil any more, and each of them scattered through the door.
As soon as the maids were gone, I opened my eyes, and there was nothing dark in front of me, and after a few seconds, I closed them again and fell asleep slowly.
The next day, my sister-in-law Gui came to the ward to bring me breakfast, and while I was drinking porridge, she was testing me again.
I didn't answer her at first, but after a while, I said three words to Sister-in-law Gui: "I agree." ”
Sister-in-law Gui didn't hear clearly at first, but the hand holding the porridge for me paused for a few seconds, and subconsciously asked, "You, what did you say?" ”
I said, "I agree to have this baby, but I have one condition." ”
Sister-in-law Gui immediately put down the spoon in her hand and said, "You say, what are the conditions you want?" Is it a dowry? Or something else? Or do you want three sedan chairs to marry? Or do you want a phoenix crown? ”
I shook my head and said, "Neither, I want to see Song Alcohol, I want him to let him go." ”
Sister-in-law Gui didn't expect me to make this request, she said, "Miss, you-"
Sister-in-law Gui seemed to want to persuade me, but I interrupted her and said, "You don't need to say much, if he agrees, I will be a concubine, if he doesn't agree, this child will not be kept, Sister-in-law Gui, you just need to convey my words." ”
I was resolute and non-negotiable.
Sister-in-law Gui could only say, "That...... I...... I went to mention it to my husband. ”
I don't know if Mu Jingchi will agree to this matter, but now is my only chance, this child is also my only bargaining chip, I have to take this child and give it a go.
Sister-in-law Gui waited for me to finish breakfast, naturally busy going back to convey the words, that night she did not come to my ward again, she came to me again, it was the next morning, the face was not very good, basically I had guessed halfway, sure enough, the next second, Sister-in-law Gui said: "Mr. said, let you beat the child out." ”
When I heard this answer, I was not disappointed, but calm.
Sister-in-law Gui was afraid that I would be sad, so she said, "Do you know what happened to the Mu family and the Lu family?" ”
I looked at Sister-in-law Gui, who was a little eager to speak.
After a while, she spoke again, "Sir, you can ask for anything, but not this one." ”
I asked Sister-in-law Gui, "Do you know what happened to the Mu family and the Lu family back then?" ”
Sister-in-law Gui nodded, but not long after, she immediately shook her head, and even said with trepidation in her eyes: "I don't know." ”
I stared at Sister-in-law Gui for a long time, I didn't want to embarrass Sister-in-law Gui, so I didn't ask any further, Sister-in-law Gui breathed a sigh of relief, she said: "Miss, in fact, if you marry Mr., about your cousin's matter, there may not be no chance in the future, Mr. said that he can let you see him as much as possible, as for releasing people, he can't do it, he lets you think about it yourself." ”
Sister-in-law Gui didn't react to me for a long time, expecting that there would be no compromise between us and us in this matter, she didn't ask me again, and when she got up and was about to leave, I said behind her, "Okay, let me see him." ”
Sister-in-law Gui looked back at me, her eyes were shocked, and I said, "You go back and tell him, let me see Song Yu." ”
I don't want to struggle endlessly, I don't want to go on endlessly cat and mouse, I need to confirm Song Alcohol's location, I need to know if he is healthy now, now, and immediately, as for everything after that, I will talk about it later, this is the only thing I can do now.
I thought it would be in the near future, so I waited in the hospital after that, but after waiting for a few days, Sister-in-law Gui said that not now, but when the child stabilized, he would naturally let me meet Song Alcohol.
When I heard the news, I looked at Sister-in-law Gui with a little anger.
Sister-in-law Gui also looked at me a little, and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. said that the child is still in an unstable period, and everything must be stable before agreeing to your request." ”
Mu Jingchi is worthy of being a businessman, and what he asks for is both money and goods, but at this time, I have no choice but to be at the mercy of Mu Jingchi.
After that, I have been quietly in the hospital, never went out, and the doctor also came to check regularly, Mu Jingchi never appeared once, but Lin Wanwan came over, I don't know how she learned the news.
When she came to my hospital room, there was a strange silence, and after a long time, she asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”
She was talking about giving birth to this child.
I didn't answer her because I didn't know what I was going to do to answer her in the face of her.
Seeing that I was silent, Lin Wanwan probably understood what I meant, she smiled lightly twice and said, "It's okay, at least you have something to rely on, don't you?" ”
I said, "I'm sorry. ”
Lin Wanwan said: "Don't tell me I'm sorry, the person you need to say sorry for is Yuan Lin." She paused for a few seconds, and then said, "In half a month, I will return to Dongjun." ”
I looked at her and asked, "Is the war over there?" ”
Lin Wanwan said: "It is considered to be stable, and it is the will sent by Huo Changfan this morning." ”
At this time, the two of us were silent at the same time, and it was impossible for me to go back to Dongjun with Lin Wanwan.
At this time, Wang Shuyi walked in from outside, but when she saw Lin Wanwan in my room, she retreated to the door and waited for us to finish talking.
As soon as she left, Wang Shuyi walked in and said to me, "Second Miss, Madame asked you to choose one thing." ”
Soon two maids walked in outside the house, one of the two maids was holding something in his hand, which was covered by red silk, Wang Shuyi took off the red silk, and the maid was holding a wedding dress in her hand.
I glanced at her, and Wang Shuyi said, "Sir, let you choose."
I said, "Whatever." ”
The red color of the wedding dress is very different from the one I married Yuan Lin before, and it is not red.
Seeing that I was not in the mood to choose, Wang Shuyi said: "Then I will decide casually, but Mr. said that because of your identity, you will not be too vocal about the ceremony, and you may keep everything simple, and if you have other requirements, within a reasonable range, he will agree." ”
I said, "I want to wear a wedding dress." ”
I looked at her and said, "The concubine can't wear red, and she can't wear a wedding dress if it's not fixed, right?" However, if you don't agree, it doesn't matter if you don't wear it. ”
When Wang Shuyi heard me say this, she could only whisper again: "I will go and explain to my husband." ”
I thought she would leave, but who knew she was still standing there and didn't move, so I looked at her and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”
In the face of my impatience, Wang Shuyi smiled and said: "I asked the doctor today, and in ten days, you can be discharged from the hospital. ”
I said two words: "Whatever." ”
After Wang Shuyi received my instructions, she did not stay any longer, and left from here with the maid with the two wedding dresses.
As soon as she left, the maids walked in, and when they saw that my face was a little bad, they didn't dare to talk to me, and after a while, another maid asked me: "Miss, Aunt Lin sent some bird's nest, do you want to taste it?" ”
At this time, I was not in the mood to think too much about it, but subconsciously said, "Come here." ”
After listening to my words, the maid opened the food box, carefully filled a bowl for me, and then she handed me the bird's nest, I don't have much appetite now, but because of the child, there are some things I have to force myself to eat to ensure his daily nutritional needs.
I took a sip or two of it, and felt that the taste was too sweet and greasy, which made people feel a little disgusting, so I handed the bird's nest to the maid again.
When the maid saw that I had only taken one or two bites, she lost her appetite and felt a little sorry and asked, "Has it fallen?" Miss? ”
I casually said, "Keep it, and if you want to eat it in the evening, eat more." ”
The maid immediately sighed, poured the bird's nest I had fed and drunk into the food box, and then the maid went out of the ward, I lay on the bed, inexplicably felt a little tired, and couldn't get out of bed to go for a walk, so I asked another maid to help me lie down.
The room was filled with a calming incense, and as soon as I closed my eyes, I fell into a deep sleep, but I had only slept for two hours, and when I woke up again, I was awakened by a violent cramp in my lower abdomen, a feeling I was too familiar with, and it was only three seconds before I opened my eyes, and I shouted in the ward: "Doctor! Nurse! ”
The maids outside heard my sharp shouting, and immediately pushed the door and rushed in, and they were just about to ask me what was wrong, I pushed the quilt down hard, and there was a pool of blood under me.
When the two maids saw such a situation, they stood by the bed and were stunned for a long time without reacting.
I lay on the bed in a cold sweat and shivered, the two maids were so frightened by my condition that their legs were weak on the ground, and then I don't know who reacted first, and hurriedly ran out of the ward, and it didn't take long for the doctor and nurse to rush in, but at this time I had no strength to speak, and even had a tendency to faint in pain, and a steady stream of liquid gushed out of my lower body, which made me feel frightened.
Then my body was lifted, and in a daze, someone injected something into my arm, and finally I felt that my vision was getting more and more blurry, and the person was getting more and more tired, and the pain was reduced, and the person actually fell down.
Vaguely, I heard the doctor shouting, "Inform Mr. Mu!" Fast! ”
I don't know what the situation will be, but I somehow feel a little relieved at this time.
After about a minute or two, I fainted, not knowing if it was due to the pain or the medication I had just taken.
Later, in the dream, I kept hearing a child crying, the voice was very sharp, filling my whole head, and then there was a sound of talking, which was very messy, and I couldn't tell who was who.
When I opened my eyes again, I was still on the top of the wall of the ward, and the tip of my nose was the strong smell of disinfectant water, but the room was not as noisy as in my dream, it was very quiet.
I moved my gaze from the top of the wall to the bed, and then I realized that a person was sitting there, it was Mu Jingchi, who had been here for I don't know how long.
At the moment I saw him, I didn't ask him how the child was, nor did I act particularly surprised, I just bent my lips and smiled at him, and with tears falling from the end of my eyes, I rolled over in weariness and lay there without speaking, just closing my eyes.
At this time, a person walked in outside the door, it was the sound of high heels, Wang Shuyi's voice came not far away, she said: "Sir, there is a problem with the bird's nest sent by Aunt Lin." ”
Then, she handed the doctor's test report to Mu Jingchi, Mu Jingchi took it from Wang Shuyi's hand, he took a look, and after a glance, he said to Wang Shuyi with an expressionless face: "You know what to do." ”
Although Mu Jingchi didn't say it explicitly, Wang Shuyi has been working behind him for so many years, and she won't not understand what he means, Wang Shuyi subconsciously glanced at me on the hospital bed, and after a long time, she said yes, and then took the test sheet and withdrew from the ward.
But before she walked to the door, Huo Changfan's voice came from outside.
He called, "Jing Chi." ”
When Mu Jingchi heard Huo Changfan's voice, he immediately got up from the chair and looked at Huo Changfan who came in, and immediately asked with a smile: "Why are you here?" ”
Huo Changfan said: "I saw that your meeting was not finished yesterday, so I hurried to the hospital, so I knew that something must have happened here." ”
Mu Jingchi replied lightly: "It's okay, it's just some minor problems." ”
Huo Changfan stood at the door and glanced at me on the bed, and then asked, "How is Qingye now?" ”
The smile on Mu Jingchi's face disappeared slightly, and he said, "It's okay, it's stable now." ”
Huo Changfan sighed and said, "She is still young after all, and she is defenseless against people, isn't it easy to be calculated?" Jing Chi, let me say, it's not easy for her, you, don't be too harsh on a child. ”
Facing Huo Changfan's words, Mu Jing didn't answer for a long time, and after a few seconds, he said again: ", I guess I didn't have time to go over to the presidential palace." ”
Of course, Huo Changfan knew what he meant, and immediately said: "Understand and understand, you take care of Qingye first, and as for the rest, you don't have to worry about it." ”
Mu Jingchi snorted.
Huo Changfan saw that his face didn't seem to be very good, so he knew that he was not in the mood to entertain him now, so he said again: "I'm just coming to visit a few times, since people are fine, then I have to rush back." ”
Wang Shuyi hadn't left yet, she was still waiting at the door, and Mu Jingchi said to her: "Send President Huo." ”
Wang Shuyi said yes, and immediately walked up, and after walking to Huo Changfan's side: "Please come here." ”
Huo Changfan nodded, and then he didn't enter the house, and then Wang Shuyi sent him away.
Mu Jingchi turned around and looked at me again, the maid happened to come in with the medicine, and was about to call me up to drink the medicine, Mu Jingchi stretched out his hand to her and said, "Give me the medicine." ”
The maid glanced at Mu Jingchi, and after a long time, she carefully handed the bowl of medicine to Mu Jingchi.
He took it in his hand, then he came to my bed and sat down, he stirred the black juice in the bowl twice with a spoon, he reached out and picked me up directly from the bed, and fed me a spoonful to my lips.
I didn't open my mouth to drink.
Mu Jingchi looked down at me for three seconds, and after three seconds, he said, "Drink, you take a sip, I'll take a sip." ”
He took a sip first, swallowed it with a blank face, and then scooped another spoonful to my lips, and then I took it in my mouth, and he poured the spoonful into my mouth.
Those medicinal juices were particularly bitter, Mu Jingchi drank half of them expressionlessly, and then fed me half of them, and this bowl of medicine came to the bottom.
The maids watched from the sidelines, they didn't dare to speak, the room was extremely quiet, only the crisp sound of the spoon hitting the porcelain bowl, and after Mu Jingchi handed the empty bowl to the maid, he took the clean towel and wiped the corners of his lips for me.
He didn't let go of me immediately, but wiped my lips clean for me, then took me in his arms, stroked my long hair that was scattered on my shoulders twice, and said, "This is our child, I will treat you well after birth." ”
My eyes flickered, but I didn't react much to his words.
I don't know if this counts as his promise to me, but I think this promise, at this time, is so weak.
Treat me well, how can he treat me well, marry me as a concubine, and let me give birth to this child that he hurt my son, and live with him in the Mu family, under the eyes of another woman.
This time, I actually hated myself for being so uncompromising, why didn't I eat a few more bites of the bird's nest that Lin Wanwan gave me, if I ate a few more bites, this evil seed would naturally not exist.
I just shed tears and didn't answer his words.
Mu Jingchi didn't seem to want me to answer, just held me in his arms for a long time, and he slowly put me back on the bed, that day, he had been in the hospital, and never went back, Wang Zhizhi came to ask at night, Mu Jingchi was sitting on the sofa and flipping through the newspaper, and it took a long time to say to the maid: "Let her rest early, and she won't go tonight." ”
After hearing this, the maid said, "Yes." He withdrew from the room.
At this time, it was close to ten o'clock in the evening, and most of the hospitals were quiet, and after the nurse came in to remove the last bottle of medicine for me, she walked to Mu Jingchi with a tray and said, "Mr. Mu, all the medicines for today have been lost, Miss Lu can rest in peace." ”
Mu Jingchi heard the nurse's words, put away the newspaper in his hand, and said to the nurse, "Okay." ”
The nurse did not wait long, bowed and withdrew from the room.
Mu Jingchi glanced at the time, then glanced at me lying on the bed, he got up and came to the bed, picked me up from the bed, and took me into the bathroom, I didn't have the slightest strength, and my body was also light, after he carried me into the bathroom, he put me on the sink, and then untied my clothes, and took a warm towel to wipe the stickiness on my body.
The maid outside the door just pushed the door in, and when she saw the situation inside, she immediately retreated and quickly closed the door.
Mu Jingchi wiped my body with a towel for a while, and suddenly he bent down and kissed me on the lips.
